Help, rooster sounds like upper respiratory

This is my sister-in-law’s Brahma cockerel/rooster. What are your thoughts on what could be wrong and what kind of treatment?

Yes, unfortunately it’s not loading. I’ll keep trying and if not, will load in the morning. We are rural.

For video, you will need to upload to a platform like YouTube or similar, then provide a link.

The BYC upload does not work!

Thanks, I didn’t know that. Well her rooster looks fine and has healthy comb, wattles and feathers but breathing he sounds froggy with each breath. Kind of a croaking sound. Is this possibly an upper respiratory issue? What can she use if so?

I don't know. It could be respiratory infection.
Tylan/Tylosin is commonly used to treat Mycoplasma.

Thank you very much. She has been treating as if it were viral, maybe she needs to get the antibiotic if homeopathic remedies aren't helping. She said the rooster does sound better today, so fingers crossed!
